Telepsychiatry Services for UTHSC Residents

University Health Services is pleased to announce that Dr. Iverson Bell, Psychiatrist,
is now available for Telepsychiatry services for UTHSC residents. Telepsychiatry is
the use of video conferencing, telecommunication and information technologies to provide
behavioral health care. We use a system that is secure, confidential, and private.
Its easy to connect and use for both the provider and the resident.

You have an acute concern that you want to discuss and its after hours.

Its imperative that you establish yourself as a patient with Dr. Bell with an in-clinic
initial visit. Dr. Bell will not be prescribing through a Telepsychiatry session,
but upon review of your records (usually within 24 hours), he may be able to call
in or mail prescriptions.

To schedule a Telepsychiatry appointment, you can call Christa at 901-448-5064 or
call Dr. Bell directly at 404-934-9465.

Dr. Bell, and other behavioral health providers (including counselors), are available
at University Health Services. Call or check out our website for more information.
